Amber & jewellery box

I always loved old things:old furniture,old photos,old books,old jewellery..It doesn't metters if those things have a real value or not,I just like them.Each old thing has its own story.Once upon a time it served to someone and maybe it meaned something especially for someone.I love exploring of old lofts and cellars looking for ancients.Unfortunatelly,a lot of beautiful things have their end on the rubbish heap today.

Here is my grandmothers old handmade jewellery box and my amber necklace I made many years ago.I really love the nature amber,its warm gold and brown colours and, you know,when you wear it you can feel this warmth.Sometimes is a fly inside sleeping here for million years and those pieces have a biger value.

Lovely. It reminds me of the day that we had to empty my mother's house after she died. I found a little hand made box with jewelry. The thing what made me cry though was that it was a box I had made when I was five. She had kept it all those years. I still got it.
